Well, I've finally finished out my free half-kilo of SUPER FREAKING PINK filament, unfortunately I wasn't paying attention at the end of the spool and I got to experience clearing out my first jam......

Well, this is just a pickle... Apparently the latest Windows 10 update that installed (without asking, even though I have it set to ask me before installing updates) has put my laptop into a loop of...

Well, I moved the printer into the house with reluctant agreement from the wife, and it has been printing pretty much nonstop all day Sunday (all things for her rather than for me... that free...

I've also had some problems with setting up my MOD-t since it arrived, though at least for now it appears to be my fault. The machine requires a wifi signal, and I don't have one in the workshop...

My wife just informed me of my Mod-t's delivery... And she unboxed it for me...

I have the sneaking suspicion that if I don't get home early, she might do a first print on it without me. :p

They just sent me a tracking number for mine, so it looks like it is actually happening.

Well, I've forgot to post the update from last week, but it included their printer testing farm and their shipping plans.

This week's update has their plans for going to CE Week in New York, but...

Ah, okay, the last update that I commented on was Update #38 (the one with the first pic of the first production unit).

#39 was an update about the technical details of the final hotend.
#40 was...

Gah! Sorry! The updates keep coming but I've been much too busy to give my commentary.

Please, if there are other backers that would like to give their commentary on the updates, feel free to...

Haha, cute. I think the implication was that it plays nice with iPads... For whatever that's worth.

If everything had actually gone to their schedule, I would have gotten mine in April, so that's four months late. On the other hand, it seems like the entire country of China took a two month...

I'm one of the super-early-bird pledges and last time they contacted me they said September. I'm actually inclined to believe them.

Their last update (last week) had some pictures from their...

Hi guys, I'm really sorry I suddenly went quiet the way I did. I got a new job (which I might have time to post about tomorrow) that has kept me quite busy alongside other aspects of my life...

Well, they haven't exactly announced a retail date, just "later this year". And the context of the statement was along the lines of "If you need to get a refund due to the delay, remember that it...

Well, this week's update was huge and has several parts. (which I'm presenting a bit out-of-order, and one part is already covered in Eddy's post on the $6.5 million in Series A funding that the...

Sorry I'm a bit late on it, last week's update was introducing one of the NewMatter Store's 3D modellers, and going over the printed pencil-top toy. I've been paring down the updates to just the...

Just ran a search on Youtube for "New Matter CES 2015" and it came up with several videos of the MOD-t printing, as well as some tech blog interviews and stuff like that.

Here's a good example...

Okay, so this was a pretty huge update, and I'm going to apologize in advance for all the huge pictures, but they're worth it for the nice close look at print results....

Wow, sorry I missed last weeks update, though there's not a whole lot of technical stuff in it, now it's a bit eclipsed by one of the beta tester prints that just got reported on. (pretty darn cool...

Oh wow, that's terrible. Though I'm pretty sure there are similar import taxes here too...

Allright, so it has been quiet the past few weeks, though that doesn't mean the team hasn't been busy. I had been looking forward to their report back from CES and it was worth the wait.The booth...

Sadly, it has no heated bed planned. And it would be more complicated than just tossing one onto the platform to add one.

It'll be under $300, It will almost certainly be $250 like the...

I'm not sure if this set of prototypes constitutes the beginning of the "pilot run" for testing or not, but the shipping date still definitely looks on track for April 2015. There are still many...

Well, then. This is rather unexpected!
So it seems the printer not only can go to such small layer height, but they've decided it can do it consistently enough to make it a standard feature. Once...

My apologies in advance for the huge image, but there's some interesting details in there.
You can pretty clearly pick out which one is the prototype we've been seeing so far and which are the two...
